Bought my 4.5x14x44 conquest new in 2009 for $600....it has the #4 reticle.....thought I got a good deal on it......based on the distances I generally hunt, it doesnt make much sense for me to have one, but then neither does the 300 wsm it sits on....a helluva set up that doesnt get near enough playing time.

Thanks to all that have said that it should be a good scope to try. This scope has the turrets already so no need to get them. And i hate to disappoint all who wanted it sent to them i think i will give a good home.

Seems the 3X9X40 Zeiss Conquest is a bit of a standard for scopes. Always about $300+/- for a used one. Usually does not last long either. I have owned several and still have two. It is one that you can depend on to work for the most part. No surprises.

I used a Zeiss Conquest scope from 2009 to 2018, loved it. The particular model I used has since been discontinued (3x9x40) but I still have and love the scope. I purchased a Swarovski Z5 and moved the Conquest to a different rifle, but I highly recommend the Conquest.

First Zeiss was the older Meopta-built scopes in a 3-9 version. I've since added two more of the 4.5-15x42 HD5's and really enjoy them. They track perfectly on a tall-target test for me. My first HD5 was a gift as well.

If I had to limit myself to one model of scope to put on every rifle I own, it would probably be the Conquest 3-9x40.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

No argument here. DF
